TAILIEUCHUNG - Masculinity, Law and the Family

Among the now considerable literature addressing masculinity there are few texts which take as the specific object of study the relationship between masculinity and the law. This book explores the diversity of the masculinities of law and bridges the critique of masculinity and the critical study of law through analysing the relation between masculinity, legal discourse and the family. It seeks to unpack representations in law of male sexuality, authority, paternity, fatherhood and male violence in the family. All of these are areas of law in which understandings of masculinity, law and power have assumed a central importance just as dominant ideas of male heterosexuality have become increasingly problematic | Masculinity Law and the Family Richard Collier X XXX K X X X KX Also available as a printed book see title verso for ISBN details Masculinity Law and the Family Among the now considerable literature addressing masculinity there are few texts which take as the specific object of study the relationship between masculinity and the law.

All of these are areas of law in which understandings of masculinity law and power have assumed a central importance just as dominant ideas of male heterosexuality have become increasingly problematic. Richard Collier begins his analysis by asking how we might understand the relation between law and masculinity. He proceeds to explore how the law has gendered the male body in the family. The author argues that men s subjectivities have been valorised in law through reference to a naturalised heterosexual subject position and that though socio-economic shifts over the past century have reconstituted or modernised heterosexual masculinity the law continues to be concerned to protect a dominant ideal of masculinity. In particular through exploring the relation between changes in legal conceptions of fatherhood and paternity and wider shifts in the historical construction of heterosexuality Richard Collier argues that it is the idea of the family man which has come to signify a range of ideas about heterosexual masculinity in law. This book is about our understanding of masculinity law and family life about what it is to be a man in law and society. Richard Collier lectures in law at the Newcastle Law School University of .
